Re: AJo 8 Handed

[ QUOTE ] I have good reason to believe I am ahead [/ QUOTE ] Why did he think he was ahead? all he has is over cards. The strength of his hand comes from drawing either a spade, A or J. Anybody with a pair is giving you more EV by allowing you to draw for free. I am not saying that the push is a terrible move, but I don't think it is as good as checking. just some thoughts Tim

[ QUOTE ]
Why did he think he was ahead? all he has is over cards. The strength of his hand comes from drawing either a spade, A or J. [/ QUOTE ] It was because a) he never reraised preflop b) he checked the flop I believed he would do both these things with AQ AJ AT A9 KQ AA KK maybe even some weaker Aces and Kings. I did not think he would check if he paired up with the board rags in some way, I also thought he would bet the flop with an overpair less than KK. I felt I had many outs if called which i felt was unlikely. Those were the things I was thinking, I basically was already scraping in that small pot, but I got burnt. I take your point about checking behind, I know I rarely do this and maybe this is a big fault. I know I lose a lot of chips in the 12-10 handed stages of these things and I tend to make a lot of this up when it goes full table again often with this sorts of aggresive (stupid) moves. Once again thanks for your comments. Regards Mack
